No problem, just roll 'er in flour and look for the wet spot. At least it's got a vaguely female face.
Wuhan Coronavirus - COVID-19 Analysis & Summary - This is not just fucking pneumonia. It is everything but the kitchen sink. Lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, brain, blood vessels, testes. It affects them all.

Sometimes a lot of details are more convincing than one sentence. And there is nothing wrong with letting off steam either. I don't know why anger is so frowned upon here. Where else are people allowed to get mad without someone calling a security guard?
What are we supposed to do about these things? We can't even get the gov to see reason about lockdowns. The gov doesn't answer its emails. Protests around here are filled with faux antifa, gunrunners and fundie Christians. All this has done is create more paranoiacs.
People and animals were dying of starvation when I was in Thailand in March. I was just thankful to be able to get a ticket home and see my family again. At least here the popo weren't ticketing us for taking an evening stroll.
Tell us this, what is the average person going to do about any of the issues you've suggested? Most people don't work themselves into a tizzy over things they can't do jack shit about, at least while their standard of living is comfortable. People put up with feudalism and serfdom for centuries, they'll put up with this, at least until shit hits the fan.
Working yourself into a tizzy over things you can't affect means you can ignore the things you can fix. It's a very effective strategy for avoiding feeling guilty about not working on your real problems.
Go for a run? Get an apartment? Talk to girls? I can't bother with such trivialities when the world is falling apart!

It's a nasty flu. It's literally just a flu that caused fucking pneumonia.
Are you old and infirm in a nursing home? If yes, sorry, because your local government has probably been trying to kill you.
If no, stop freaking out and get some information.

Everything I said about COVID-19 turned out to be scientifically accurate.

COVID-19 can indeed infect the brain. It can injure the brain and other vital organs by three different ways, or even all of them at the same time. First, by hypoxemic insult of the organs, which need oxygenated blood to function. Second, by direct viral infection and replication in the tissues. Third, by triggering extreme inflammation, the release of cytokines, reactive oxygen species, bradykinin, and chemoattractants that pull phagocytes into the tissues, fibrosing them.
The good news is that it is very treatable, and in some surprisingly simple ways. Intubation is not the answer. Mechanical ventilation is killing people.
There is mounting evidence that hypovitaminosis D is a major contributing factor to the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19. Doctors have begun to notice that a large percentage of people ending up in the ICU are Vitamin D deficient. By treating the underlying vitamin D deficiency, they were able to keep people out of intensive care.
If one has examined the interactomic features of COVID-19, the reason for this becomes quite obvious.
COVID-19 is a disease of the vascular endothelium.
academic.oup.com
There is a one-cell-thick layer inside all the blood vessels in the human body called the endothelium. It isn’t just a barrier that acts like caulking to keep blood and fluids inside the blood vessels. It is a highly active membrane that helps regulate many functions of the circulatory system. Because this membrane is rich in ACE2 receptors, SARS-CoV-2 attacks it, triggering a dizzying cascade of metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory dysregulation.
Normally, the cells of the endothelium are linked together, like a chain-link fence. COVID-19 causes these cells to separate, exposing the basement membrane and making capillaries leak into the lungs. This also promotes tons of clotting as the body tries walling off the damage.
If this happens in the lungs, they lose the ability to diffuse oxygen into the bloodstream. If it happens in the brain, the blood-brain barrier is compromised. Viremia spreads SARS-CoV-2 to all the major organs through the blood vessels, causing systemic effects. The key to treating COVID-19 is reducing vascular endothelial inflammation and restoring the integrity of this barrier. Enter Vitamin D. One of the things unleashed by the down-regulation of ACE2 and up-regulation of Angiotensin II is something called NADPH oxidase. NADPH oxidase is an enzyme that takes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and converts it into superoxide free radicals. These, on their own, damage endothelial cells, and they also convert any available nitric oxide into peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite, in turn, promotes something called eNOS uncoupling, where another enzyme, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, loses its nitric oxide precursors and produces even more reactive oxygen species.

Low Vitamin D Tied to COVID-19 Severity
Vitamin D deficiency linked with ICU admission, greater mortality

You know that people can just restore previous versions of any post on the Farms, right?
Yes, but given that I find myself in the middle of an area currently being attacked by psychotic arsonists, I’d rather that people outside the forum not have a direct shortcut to my home address. Or is that too much to ask?
Calm down, lol.
You're the one that decided to put your home address out there apropos of nothing.
Also, nobody cares. The fact that your address is out there doesn't change anything. If you didn't want your address on the internet you should've taken better security precautions.
In deference to the nothingburgers, admittedly, the political response to all of this has been an unmitigated disaster. COVID-19 mostly affects the elderly and those with underlying health problems. The job losses on the order of tens of millions and the contraction of the GDP by 30+ percent are a huge problem. The continued lockdowns, the rioting, the humiliation of mandatory masking policies; all of these things have contributed to people’s risk of suicide.
It’s hard to say if it was all just a false alarm or not. Certainly, COVID-19 can cause severe illness in some people, but in most, it seems entirely survivable. The political manipulation seems like a bid to capitalize on the catastrophe to oust Trump and ruin his economic gains. There are a lot of things going on that are very suspicious, from the orders from governors like Andrew Cuomo to stuff COVID-positive patients in nursing homes, putting the highest-risk groups in danger, to the bizarre clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine that seemed almost as if constructed to fail, to the media’s hyping of Remdesivir, an expensive, patented antiviral drug that doesn’t work very well.
A lot of things are happening here besides the virus. The public is being gaslighted by the media. Our political process has magnified the catastrophe, and then laid the blame at Trump’s feet, scapegoating him, all in a bid to try and push a senile joke of a candidate like Biden into office.
In short, the virus is real, but it is being used as an excuse for political manipulation to try and put the Democrats back in power. Meanwhile, rioters are trying to burn down our cities and rural areas. When I look off my deck, the visibility is down to one mile. The PM2.5 counts are 218. Like Los Angeles on a bad day in the nineties. The smoke is so thick, if you walk outside, it smells like you stuck your head in a pellet stove.
People deserve to know the truth, and we’re not getting it from mainstream sources. We are being bombarded with lies.

He's gotten better about providing useful information amid all his spergery. It's just that there's like, 2 paragraphs of useful in 15 paragraphs of copy-pasting, photos, graphs, videos, etc. So it's usually easier just to ignore him.
TL;DR
Just answer me this, if it were up to you, would you lift all mask mandates and re-open everything? Why or why not?
Do you think we made a mistake in shutting down the country? Should we have just let people do whatever they wanted, not make any requirements, but rather advisement, like 'you should probably do this' rather than we're going to FORCE you do to this, or we're going to shut you down.
I oppose mask mandates because I believe the individual is response for one's own health, I shouldn't have to wear a mask for YOUR sake.
